MovieDocumentaryDom Angélico was born into a poor family and distinguished himself by supporting the social movements that emerged in the late 1950s. He was the bishop of the oppressed and of the protest marches, a champion of the struggle for better housing and living conditions for workers. He led crowds at masses dedicated to human rights. In the realm of journalism, he kept communities informed through *Grita Povo*. Persecuted by the military dictatorship, he confronted the police and faced repeated arrests and threats, yet he never fell silent. Dom Angélico lived for 92 years, believing it possible to unite faith in God with political action for a better world.

Movie7.9DocumentaryIntermissions follows Lula during the hectic election campaign for the presidency in 2002. Lula gave filmmaker João Moreira Salles and his crew complete access, and the result is an intimate documentary of what went on behind the scenes. Sometimes, Lula is afraid that he will lose his freedom as president. Combined with Lula's candor, the film's observational style provides some very special insight into one of Brazil's most popular leaders.
MovieDocumentaryCallado said he had to leave Brazil to get to know Brazil. His six-year trip to England and France during World War II sparked a "hunger for Brazil." As a journalist, he traveled to the "geographic center" of his Brazilian identity. As a writer, he reached the depths of his passion for a more just, less prejudiced, freer, and more democratic country.
